 The Lindsay Clancy murder trial moved from crime-scene documentation into toxicology this week, and the picture got more complicated. Clancy, the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother charged with strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She's pleaded not guilty, and Kevin Reddington's insanity defense hinges on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Trooper Johnathon O'Loughlin of the Massachusetts State Police walked the jury through the photographs, drawings, and notes he made of items of interest in the case — the visual record everything else gets measured against. Then things got more pointed. Hillary Griffiths of the Crime Lab's toxicology unit testified to the drugs actually present in Clancy's blood at the time of the killings. Lisa Yelle, who worked toxicology at the lab when the incident occurred, explained the "general unknown screens" run on Clancy's blood and urine — tests that check for hundreds of substances and return a simple detected or not-detected result. No editorializing, no guessing. Just what showed up and what didn't.That's precisely the kind of testimony an overmedication defense either leans on or has to explain around. Prosecutors Jennifer Sprague and Shanan Buckingham let the numbers speak. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. The trial continues before Judge William F. Sullivan in Plymouth Superior Court.Links: Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses are allergic to accountability. The May 2026 Study Edition of the Watchtower features their latest attempt at shaming their people into a life of service to their organization, even as they leave the decision to attend college up to each individual.

One of the ways that false teachers try to deceive you is to disguise their untrue doctrine with the words of the Bible. The Jehovah's Witnesses use a lot of the same vocabulary found in the Bible, but its meaning is twisted beyond recognition for human gain, while the Mormons try to elevate the Book of Mormon to the same level of honor as the Bible itself! Pastor Jeff reminds you to be aware of wolves in sheep's clothing, and to learn God's Word for yourself so you can defend yourself against false teachers.

July 6th, at the northwestern tip of Horn Island, a body washes ashore face down in the water.   It's the body of a missing 18-year-old, college football player Nolan Wells who disappeared after taking a boat with friends to celebrate the Fourth of July.   Since then, there have been more questions than answers. Witnesses share vastly different accounts of what happened on the island with Nolan. Some of his friends shut down their social media, some opt to do interviews, and some quietly post tributes on Instagram.   But Nolan Wells' loved ones are still looking for answers that investigators aren't providing… Were there things on his phone that were deleted from the day he went missing? If he stayed behind on the island, why didn't he have his phone or keys with him? And what's with this circulating audio that netizens swear they can hear people shouting, ‘Nolan's freaking dead!'         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On May 24, 1986, nineteen-year-old Shelley Sikes left work at Gaido's Seafood Restaurant in Galveston and began driving toward her boyfriend's home. She never arrived. Witnesses saw a pickup force her car off the road, and her Ford Pinto was discovered hours later with the driver's window shattered and her belongings still inside. Two men were ultimately convicted of aggravated kidnapping, but Shelley's case is not closed. She has never been found, and both men died in prison without providing information that brought her home. Investigators have made it clear that the case will remain open until Shelley is found. Shelley was 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighed approximately 90 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She has a scar on her right knee and was unable to bend her right index finger. Anyone with information is asked to call the Galveston County Sheriff's Office at 409 766 2300. Anonymous tips can be submitted at 866 248 8477.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (07/31/26), Hank answers the following questions:Is Ezekiel 44:25 a reference to the millennial reign?

In Part One, we followed Rainey Bethea's story through the murder of Lischia Rarick Edwards, his arrest, conflicting confessions and remarkably swift trial. After a proceeding lasting only a few hours, a jury deliberated for less than five minutes before sentencing him to be publicly hanged.Part Two begins with Black attorneys, journalists and civil-rights advocates attempting to secure Bethea a new trial. They questioned whether he understood his guilty plea, received adequate representation or had his constitutional rights protected. Although a federal judge temporarily stayed the execution, Bethea's petition was dismissed. Governor Chandler set a new execution date of August 14, 1936.Meanwhile, Owensboro prepared for a spectacle. A gallows was erected near the Ohio River, hotels filled with visitors, and residents held “hanging parties.” Thousands gathered around the scaffold, with spectators climbing onto vehicles and nearby buildings for a better view.National attention focused on Daviess County Sheriff Florence Thompson, Kentucky's only female sheriff at the time. Newspapers were fixated on whether she would personally spring the trap. Thompson instead selected Arthur L. Hash, a former Louisville police officer and World War I veteran who volunteered for the job. Witnesses said Hash appeared visibly intoxicated and unsteady on the scaffold.Shortly after 5:00 a.m., Bethea arrived from Louisville. He had been baptized while awaiting execution and reportedly said he had made peace with God. A priest accompanied him onto the scaffold, where he made his final confession but did not address the crowd.Hash released the trap as thousands watched. Afterward, spectators surged toward the scaffold, and souvenir hunters tore pieces from Bethea's clothing while he was reportedly still breathing. Professional execution consultant George Philip Hanna later called it the worst display he had witnessed during approximately 70 hangings.The scene generated immediate outrage. Letters and editorials described it as barbaric and humiliating, arguing that public executions encouraged mob behavior rather than serving justice. Owensboro's newspaper pushed back, accusing visiting journalists of exaggerating the disorder after they were denied the sensational story they expected: Florence Thompson personally pulling the lever.The backlash helped change Kentucky law. In 1938, Governor Chandler signed legislation repealing the provision that allowed people convicted of rape to be publicly hanged in the county where the crime occurred.Rainey Bethea's hanging is generally recognized as the last public execution conducted in the United States. Its history raises difficult questions about race, justice, punishment, media sensationalism and the public's willingness to turn death into entertainment.Content warning: This episode includes discussion of execution, mob violence and racism.Photos and newspaper clippings will be shared on the Kentucky History & Haunts social media pages.Questions, comments or episode suggestions?

We wrestle with the moral cost of war through a modern Odyssey lens, especially what it means to see the divine image in people you might be ordered to kill.

In this emergency episode, Jim Chapman breaks down the newly released “enhanced” emergency call placed by friends as the boat they were on was sinking and explains why this enhanced version may be creating more misinformation in this case. On July 4, 2026, Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old Ocean Springs, Mississippi native and incoming freshman football player at Southwest Mississippi Community College, joined a group of friends for a boat trip to Horn Island, a wilderness barrier island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Thousands of people were on the island that day. According to his friends, the boat began taking on water that afternoon. They say Nolan chose to stay behind talking to a young woman while they returned to the mainland. His phone made it back. He did not.Timestamps:02:05 New Audio Emerges06:12 Tow Call Transcripts15:32 Audio Manipulation Debate19:41 Enhanced Clip Claims21:26 Witnesses and Video Proof30:27 Nancy Grace 33:15 Toxicology QuestionsSources Include:Officer Tatum Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@TheOfficerTatumDon Lemon https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1032245162784253TMZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek0zYBk6NQQTMZ LINK 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGvxnsIdDHABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.

We connect headlines, books, and everyday dating talk to one repeating theme: we blame the world to avoid looking at our own hearts. We argue that Orthodoxy answers secular modern habits by restoring a sacramental view of worship, marriage, and repentance. • praying for peace while discussing the damaged Dormition Cathedral in Kyiv • Metropolitan Saba on secularism shaping prayer, fasting, marriage, and death • challenging materialism and “Western baggage” that flattens spiritual life • Southern Baptist Convention vote on women pastors and how Orthodoxy honors women • A Confederacy of Dunces as a warning about pride without self-examination • why being correct can turn into cruelty without humility and repentance • the marriage and dating crisis as a symptom of Enlightenment rationalism • marriage reduced from covenant to contract and people treated like counterparties • “dating market” language and ROI thinking as a form of dehumanization • Orthodox marriage as martyrdom through crowning, sacrifice, and theosis • comments on worship music, entertainment, and why Orthodox chant feels sacred • latria and the Divine Liturgy as the missing category in many Protestant frameworks Please do leave us a comment down below.

For over a century, witnesses across Michigan and Wisconsin have described the same impossible figure – upright, wolf-headed, and aware of being watched. Some walked away with scars, others with a story they were afraid to tell for decades.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/dogmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckpcp8sFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Across Michigan and Wisconsin, encounters with an upright, wolf-headed figure span more than a century – from nineteenth-century logging camps to farm roads, deer stands, and suburban backyards. Witnesses describe a creature with human-like hands, glowing eyes, and an unsettling awareness of being watched, several of them staying silent about what they saw for years rather than risk being disbelieved. Hunters, drivers, and at least one retired sheriff's deputy all report the same detail – something that watches back, and in more than one account, something that speaks.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:06:13.435 = Show Open00:08:57.805 = Part One00:18:33.555 = Part Two ***00:46:24.349 = Part Three ***01:00:02.576 = Part Four ***01:14:17.255 = Part Five ***01:27:28.423 = Part Six ***01:34:00.844 = Part Seven ***01:46:18.276 = Show Close01:47:34.794 = SONG: “Dogman of Silver Creek” by Dark Weirdness*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March 22, 2025Weird Darkness devotes a full episode to the Dogman, the upright, wolf-headed cryptid reported across Michigan and Wisconsin for more than a century, moving through firsthand encounters, a claimed government cover-up, a witnessed fight between a Dogman and two Sasquatch, and a side-by-side comparison of Dogman folklore against traditional werewolf mythology.It opens with the creature's documented history, tracing the first alleged sighting to 1887, when a group of lumberjacks in Wexford County, Michigan described a being with the body of a man and the head of a dog during the state's great logging era. Similar reports followed in Allegan County in the 1950s and in Cross Village, Big Rapids, and Manistee County during the 1960s, while Elkhorn, Wisconsin became the center of activity in the early 1990s. The segment also catalogs standalone incidents tied to the legend: four horses found dead with their eyes open in 1917, seven-foot-four claw marks reported on a church door in 1957, a farmer found dead at his plow surrounded by oversized canine tracks in 1997, a 2006 backyard sighting in Shelby Township, Michigan, and an army veteran's account of a wolf-headed creature pacing his truck through Manistee National Forest. Odawa oral tradition describing a two-legged, wolf-like being near Lake Michigan predates all of it, and the episode raises the theory that Dogman sightings cluster in years ending in seven.From there, the episode turns to the case that gave the cryptid one of its best-known names: the Beast of Bray Road. Lori Endrizzi's fall 1989 sighting on Bray Road outside Elkhorn, Wisconsin, first documented by researcher Linda Godfrey in the 2003 book "The Beast of Bray Road," describes a kneeling, brownish-gray figure with long claws that turned to meet her headlights. Two years later, on Halloween night 1991, Doris Gipson struck the same stretch of road and was chased by a clawed, upright creature that clung to her car's rear bumper as she fled. Walworth County Animal Control officer Jon Fredrikson began compiling reports in a manila folder marked "Werewolf," which grew to include a December 1990 sighting by a child witness, clawed tracks near Potter's Road that led locals to nickname the creature "Pottsy," a 1990 roadside sighting by Mike Etten, and two separate encounters reported by high school student Tom Brichta. The same story traces the legend back further still, to 1936, when night watchman Mark Shackleman encountered a six-foot, black-furred creature scratching at an Indigenous burial ground outside Racine, Wisconsin's St. Coletta Convent, a creature that reportedly spoke a single word, "Gadarah," a name tied to the biblical account of Jesus casting out demons at Gadara.Next, the episode moves to a February 2012 case from rural Chenango, New York, where Brandon Close and his neighbor Gene pursued the source of a scream that had left Close's cattle huddled against an electric fence, only to be chased through the woods by an eight-foot creature that kept pace with their all-terrain vehicle at highway speed. The account continues with an unmarked black van and armed personnel arriving at Close's property the following day, ultimately removing the memory cards from his trail cameras.A separate account follows a Big Rapids, Michigan night watchman's 1961 encounter with a six-foot, grayish-brown creature outside his home near the Haymarsh State Game Area, an incident the witness says he photographed under a streetlight.The episode then recounts an anonymous 1992 camping trip in which the witness watched a black, long-armed creature stalk him along a dry creek bed before a Sasquatch intervened, leading to a violent fight that ended when a second, larger Sasquatch killed the Dogman and dragged its body into the woods.Hunting-season encounters follow, beginning with Peter's October 16, 2012 experience in Pontiac, Illinois, where a wolf-sized creature bit his arm during a chase near his family's deer stand before inexplicably retreating. A separate witness describes two Dogman sightings twenty years apart, the first in Alto, Michigan in 1988 and the second in nearby Lowell, Michigan in 2008, when a blue-eyed creature that had followed him since childhood appeared on his roof and spoke a single word, "Don't."Another segment follows Derek, an Ohio mycology enthusiast, to a 2016 night-fishing trip along the Mahoning River in Niles, Trumbull County, Ohio, where he encountered a crouching creature near an old train trestle that stood to meet his gaze before retreating into the brush.A Fitchburg, Wisconsin case follows college student Matt, who in 2006 heard a scream during a minor earthquake and glimpsed a wolf-headed, humanoid figure in a passing car's headlights. A separate story follows a man identified as Mark to his late grandfather's cabin in Sierra County, Ohio, where he discovered why his grandfather had banned the family from the property for years, after an unseen creature chased him back to the cabin and reappeared at the tree line with two others.A Reed City, Michigan hunting party's four-day encounter in November 2007 follows, in which Sam and his companions repeatedly crossed paths with a yellow-eyed, hunchbacked creature that left claw marks on a rifle stock and a cabin door. The episode then follows Gabe to a rural Montana property, where lightning revealed a broad-shouldered, upright creature in his yard, followed weeks later by a closer encounter near his satellite dish that prompted him to move.Retired law enforcement officer Laura Love's account follows, describing a nearly seven-and-a-half-foot, dark-furred creature that struck a truck near the West Weber Road overpass on U.S. Highway 31 before vanishing into roadside brush. A separate story follows Janet, who for years believed she had seen a deformed bear near Danbury, Wisconsin's Long Lake before her son's own Dogman sighting prompted her to reconsider what she and her sister-in-law Amy witnessed on Rustic Road.A November 7, 2016 account from Duluth, Minnesota follows, describing an anonymous graphic designer's sighting of a hunched, wolf-faced cr

June 24, 1974. Burlington, New Jersey. 14-year old Margaret Ellen Fox boards a bus to travel to the nearby township of Mount Holly in order to meet a man named John Marshall and never returns home. Days earlier, Margaret had placed an ad in the newspaper offering her services as a babysitter and received a phone call from Marshall, who offered her a job babysitting his son, but it seems apparent this was a set-up. Margaret's family receives a phone call and a pair of letters demanding a $10,000 ransom for her safe return, but the kidnapper eventually ceases all communication and Margaret is never found. October 9, 1984. Mercedes, Texas. 21-year old Kim Leggett disappears while working a shift at her workplace, the Ross Gin Company. Witnesses report having last seen Kim speaking with a pair of unidentified men, so there is fear that she was the victim of an abduction. Kim's family receives a phone call from an anonymous man demanding money for her safe return and they soon receive a ransom letter for $250,000 ransom. However, no instructions are provided for how to pay the money and no further contact is made, so Kim is never heard from again. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a pair of unsolved kidnapping cases in which the victim's family received a ransom demand, but the victims were never found and the perpetrators were never identified. “The Trail Went Cold” will be appearing at AdvocacyCon, which is taking place at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico on September 11-13, 2026.

Authorities in New Mexico have expanded their investigation into activity at Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch, with a particular focus on visits by Prince Andrew. More than a dozen former employees—including housekeepers, ranch hands, and managers—have reportedly been interviewed by investigators working under the state's Department of Justice. They were asked to provide detailed accounts of who visited the property, what they witnessed during their employment, and how the estate operated on a day-to-day basis. Investigators are trying to reconstruct a comprehensive picture of movements, access, and interactions at the ranch, with Andrew's alleged multiple visits emerging as a central line of inquiry.Witnesses are not being treated as suspects but as key sources of information, and some have been instructed not to destroy any records or materials connected to their time working at the ranch. The probe is also examining other high-profile visitors and individuals connected to Epstein's operations, including a neurosurgeon reportedly linked to Andrew. The investigation comes amid broader scrutiny of the ranch as a location tied to Epstein's alleged criminal activity, with authorities seeking to piece together what occurred there over the years. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing, but the renewed focus on his visits underscores how the investigation is now revisiting long-standing questions about who was present at the ranch and what took place behind its closed doors.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Staff at Jeffrey Epstein's secretive Zorro Ranch 'quizzed' about Andrew visits as cop probe hunts 'full picture'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Could an ordinary clay pot be the oldest recording device in human history? On this episode of The Box of Oddities, JG explores one of archaeology's most captivating ideas: the theory that ancient pottery may have accidentally preserved microscopic traces of sound while spinning on a potter's wheel. From the birth of "acoustic archaeology" to modern AI-assisted research, discover why scientists still haven't completely ruled out the possibility that a vessel thousands of years old could one day reveal echoes of the distant past. Then Kat ventures into the tannin-dark waters of Florida's St. Johns River to investigate a cryptid that has been reported for more than 175 years. Witnesses have described a massive serpent-like creature, a pink dinosaur, a horned beast, and something that "swims like a fish and walks like a dog." Is the St. Johns Monster simply mistaken identity... or does something unexplained still glide beneath the river's surface? It's an episode about forgotten sounds, enduring legends, and why the most fascinating mysteries often begin with a question that seems impossible.

Patrick explores pressing listener questions about Catholic practices, why posture at Mass matters, and what true unity looks like when traditions shift unexpectedly. Scriptural references and personal stories fuel a wide-ranging exchange on receiving Communion with the right preparation, the impact of Church history on faith, and facing challenges from Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons at the door. Those conversations stretch from investigating the label “Roman Catholic” to untangling misunderstandings about the sacraments, all while encouraging listeners to keep pursuing clarity and reverence in their faith journey. Kip (email) - As a cradle Catholic who has always knelt in reverence after the Lamb of God, I was so disturbed by the complete lack of kneeling and overall irreverence during the Liturgy of the Eucharist at a new parish I tried yesterday that it felt like a Protestant service and has left me convinced such practices are eroding belief in Christ’s true presence in the Eucharist and leading the flock astray. (00:46) Mark - I thought that being born again was enough. Why do I need 7 sacraments? (05:21) Dan - You gave me research to do on the early Church, and I now agree with you. Can you give me details on Linus, Cletus and Clement? (20:46) Kathy - How do I deal with Jehovah's Witnesses? Also thank you for the advice you gave me 2 months ago. (37:59) Rafael - Why are we referred to as Roman Catholics?

The movie many are hating on for the wrong reasons!  This is not the movie they think it is.Cloud of Witnesses, Jeremy Jeremiah, James St Simon, Michael, and Mario Andrew, break down the most unforgettable moments from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and why the homecoming story hits harder when the music, visuals, and symbols keep pointing back to love and loss.

In a previous episode, we shared a chilling listener encounter from Little Braxted, Essex—a childhood memory of glowing red eyes and a winged silhouette that haunted two sisters for decades.Today, we return to that story with a special investigative update. Mark, a paranormal investigator from Paranormal Reason who lives just minutes from the original sighting location, joins the show to share his findings. Mark has spent his time on the ground researching the area's history and, crucially, has successfully located additional witnesses who describe near-identical encounters.We break down these new reports, analyze how this UK encounter compares to the lore we cover here in the States, and discuss the importance of documenting these localized sightings before they fade into local legend.Have your own story?

In Charlie Investigates this week, we begin the real investigation into the case of Scott Peterson and the murder of Laci Peterson. Because of Brand New Evidence introduced by the Innocent Project, we must take another closer look at what happened in Modesto that developed into the Scott Peterson case. In our investigation we will take a closer look at the Berkeley Marina and what happened on Christmas Eve, 2002. We will follow a carefully constructed timeline that is vital to a successful investigation. You will hear from Witnesses and follow the Modesto detectives as they work to find the answers that the whole country is asking regarding this case.  And...you will see it in the eyes of an Investigator who is simply looking for the truth. This is not simply telling of a crime story. This is an investigation that will not only investigate the case, but will eventually investigate the investigation. Did the investigators withhold valuable discovery from the defense? Did the investigators destroy evidence? Did they develop tunnel vision? Was there a Rush to Judgment?  All of these questions will be answered and more on Charlie Investigates. So buckle up and join us on an investigation into the most talked about investigation in history.... "The Disappearance and Murder of Laci Peterrson." What if after 20 years, we got the investigation and conviction wrong?  Contact Charlie: charliecrimebuster@gmail.com  Support: www.peacemakernetwork.com  Youtube: www.Youtube.com/@charliecrimebuster  Music and Sound Effects: www.pixabay.com

Jesus calls us His witnesses.  What does that mean for your life today? How can you live a life that is a testimony, that testifies, to the truth about Jesus?

False gods make martyrs out of their enemies. Jesus makes missionaries out of his.On Nation Sunday, Pastor Jim Essian walks through Acts 1:1-11 and the identity Jesus gives his church before the world: witnesses. Not activists. Not consumers. Witnesses — people who have seen a thing and testify to it. Jesus gives us proof that this is true, power from the Holy Spirit to carry it, and then names two problems that keep the church standing still: a kingdom that's too small, and a spiritual consumerism that's too high. Both of them make us the center of God's activity instead of sending us out. There are still 2 billion people in the world who have never heard the story of Jesus. Where you are is on purpose. Where you go is intentional.

Somebody on that boat trip knows more than they're saying about what happened to Nolan Wells, and some of them are reportedly too scared to say it. Nolan was eighteen, a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. On the Fourth of July he went out to Horn Island, an uninhabited barrier island roughly ten miles off the Mississippi coast, with a group of friends. No buildings, no fresh water, no service, just boats and coolers until the sun goes down and everyone heads for the mainland. His friends made it back. He didn't. A National Park Service ranger found his body in the water off the island's northwestern tip two mornings later. Roughly thirteen hours passed before help was actually requested. Investigators say they believe Nolan drowned, and they've also said they're still working to determine exactly what happened out there. A friend reportedly called the Coast Guard that night, and Nolan's mother, Christine Wonsley, called the sheriff's office shortly after. The sheriff's office said early on there was no foul play. His cause and manner of death still haven't been released. Tony sits down with Robin Dreeke to break down what it actually means when witnesses go quiet in a case like this, what a "no foul play" statement does and doesn't prove, and why silence from the people who were physically there is its own kind of evidence. Attorney Ben Crump is running an independent investigation for the family, and the district attorney says this is heading to a grand jury. Some witnesses have talked to investigators. Others reportedly haven't said much at all, and the family wants to know why. Fear doesn't mean guilt. But it doesn't mean nothing, either. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On the night of October 30th, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was beaten to death with a golf club in the wealthy Connecticut town of Greenwich.On the night of October 30th, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was beaten to death with a golf club in the wealthy Connecticut town of Greenwich. Her body was found the next morning under a pine tree in her own yard, the broken club nearby traced back to a set owned by her neighbors, the Skakels, a family related by marriage to the Kennedys. Despite the obvious lead, the case went cold for decades. Witnesses changed their stories, evidence was lost, and the family at the center of the investigation continued to live their lives. It took 25 years, a true crime book, and a tenacious investigator to finally bring charges. Even then, the conviction that followed would eventually be overturned, leaving the case in legal limbo. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits one of the most notorious cold cases in American history, the wealth and influence that shielded a family from scrutiny, and the question that still divides Greenwich today: who really killed Martha Moxley?Head over to our Murder True Crime Stories YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@MurderTrueCrimeStoriesIf you're new here, don't forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!

Episode Summary Evan shares his story as a third-generation Jehovah's Witness whose family joined the organization during a period of marital vulnerability. After his father died of HIV-related complications when Evan was just three years old, the family faced intense judgment and stigma within the congregation, leading them to relocate to a rural "compound" in North Carolina for a fresh start. Growing up, Evan was fueled by the "resurrection hope"—the promise that if he remained obedient and "did more" for the organization, he would eventually be reunited with his father. The episode explores the heavy psychological toll of this upbringing, including the "bloodguilt" placed on children to convert their peers and the "reverse parenting" Evan performed while his mother struggled with severe mental health issues. Evan details his transition from a socially unprepared "clip-on tie" child to a rebellious teenager leading a double life, which eventually culminated in a judicial committee and his expulsion at age 20. Now 40, Evan reflects on his journey of rebuilding his own identity, the "superpower" of personal autonomy, and how he created a "chosen family" outside the walls of the Kingdom Hall. Key Takeaways Resurrection Hope as Leverage: The organization uses the grief of losing a parent to "double down" on a child's commitment, making their future reunion dependent on constant religious performance. The "Cage" of Protection: Evan deconstructs the common JW illustration that the organization is a protective "cage" in a shark-infested ocean, arguing that a cage is still a restricting cage regardless of the perceived safety it provides. Autonomy as a Superpower: Leaving the organization provides a "clean slate" where an individual can finally choose their own morals, circle of friends, and identity without institutional permission. Institutional Gaslighting: The organization's culture is designed to make members doubt themselves and their own perceptions, effectively teaching obedience over identity. Financial and Emotional Retaliation: Even after leaving, members may face continued attempts at control, such as Evan's mother attempting to commit tax fraud involving him or demanding rent from her "checking out" teenage son. Direct Quotes "Autonomy is the coolest thing in the world. And once you have it, it never stops." "You learn obedience, not identity." "Conditional love is not love. Everything in the organization is conditional."

The Nolan Wells investigation is headed for a grand jury. The reaction was instant — everyone assumed an arrest is imminent. The DA's office corrected that assumption the same day: Jackson County sends every unresolved death through a grand jury. The referral alone tells you nothing about whether investigators believe a crime took place.That correction barely landed. This episode walks through the Mississippi grand jury process — how it operates, what power it carries, and why the people who shared a boat with Nolan on the Fourth of July may be facing a legal mechanism they cannot navigate from the outside.Mississippi grand juries meet in sealed sessions. Witnesses enter individually. They take an oath. They answer questions posed by the prosecutor. Their attorney waits outside. After all testimony is heard, every non-juror leaves the room. The panel votes in isolation, and members are legally barred from discussing what happened inside for at least six months.The panel can charge, clear, or shelve the case. Each path unfolds without any obligation to tell the public why. But beyond those dispositions, the grand jury holds subpoena authority — it can order the production of records, demand phone data, and summon specific people to testify. No press conference can substitute for what happens when a witness sits in that room alone, under oath, facing questions with legal consequences for dishonesty.The two competing accounts of Nolan's last hours — whether he planned to leave with his friends or chose to remain on the island — have never been tested in any formal setting. A grand jury could change that. But the timing depends on when the sheriff's investigation wraps, and critical evidence — autopsy results, cellphone forensics — is still outstanding. What those jurors see depends entirely on what is finished by the time the case reaches them.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy postpartum psychosis defense — the women who could explain it best have been shut out of the courtroom by a judge's order.Kevin Reddington asked to call women who have survived postpartum psychosis so a jury could hear what it does to a person from someone who has actually been inside it. Judge William Sullivan said no. That leaves the defense explaining the most important concept in the case entirely through paid clinicians, in a trial where the Commonwealth is seeking a first-degree murder conviction.The rest of the defense file is documentation. Lindsay Clancy told her husband at the end of December that she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. She admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve and was discharged. Nineteen days later, Cora, Dawson, and Callan were dead. Her attorney has said she was prescribed roughly thirteen psychiatric medications over about four months, and both she and her husband are suing the providers who wrote them.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski for an honest look at whether any of this is enough. Can a jury be convinced that planning and psychosis coexist? How much did that ruling actually cost her? And what does a jury do with a father who buried three children and then asked strangers to forgive the person who killed them?There is also the question every person following this case wants answered — whether the woman at the center of it will ever open her mouth in that courtroom.The defense's position is simple. Every institution that could have stopped this had the information and did nothing with it.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We were privileged to have Dr. James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries with us, presenting on the language barrier that exists between Christians and the LDS. James White is the director of Alpha and Omega Ministries. He is Professor of Church History and Apologetics at Grace Bible Theological Seminary, and has taught Greek, Hebrew, Systematic Theology, Textual Criticism, Church History and various topics in the field of apologetics for numerous other schools. He has authored or contributed to more than twenty four books, including The King James Only Controversy, The Forgotten Trinity, The Potter's Freedom, The God Who Justifiesand What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur'an. He is an accomplished debater, having engaged in more than two hundred moderated, public debates with leading proponents of Roman Catholicism, Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormonism, as well as critics such as Bart Ehrman, John Dominic Crossan, Marcus Borg, and John Shelby Spong. Before travel restrictions James debated in such locations as London and Sydney, as well as in mosques in Toronto and South Africa. He is a Pastor/Elder of Apologia Church in Arizona. He has been married to Kelli for forty four years, and has two children, and six living grandchildren.

The Lindsay Clancy insanity defense has a problem, and it is not the evidence — it is who a Massachusetts judge will and will not let into the courtroom.Kevin Reddington's plan was to have women who have survived postpartum psychosis describe it to the jury themselves. Real people, real experiences, no expert reports. Judge William Sullivan shut that down. Only clinicians retained for the trial may explain the condition, which puts the defense in the position of asking twelve people to believe in something they will only ever hear about secondhand and on somebody's dime.The underlying case Reddington is building is documented in medical records and two civil lawsuits. Lindsay Clancy told her husband at the end of December that she was having thoughts of hurting her kids. She admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve. Nineteen days after her discharge, all three of her children were gone. Her attorney has put the prescription count at roughly thirteen psychiatric medications over about four months.Criminal defense trial attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski to work the defense side. Whether this case can function as the spotlight on a broken mental health system that it probably should be. How a jury processes the idea that planning and psychosis are not opposites. What to do with Patrick Clancy, who lost all three of his children and then publicly forgave the person responsible.And the hardest strategic call in the case — whether to put a paralyzed, fragile defendant in front of a prosecutor who will not go easy on her, because she is the only person alive who can tell that jury what she heard.Cora was five. Dawson was three. Callan was eight months old. The defense says none of it had to happen.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a chilling episode of JW Broadcasting, Jehovah's Witnesses are reminded why they should obey the Governing Body or face annihilation at Armageddon. After reminding them about Joshua and the Israelites, host Robert Luccioni twists himself in embarrasing knots to gain your complicity. They're not allowed to ask for proof of their connection to the Almighty, they are told to blindly obey... even when instructions are wrong, dangerous or not to their liking. The cult rhetoric is reaching a fever pitch... something BIG is coming.TWITTER: @exjwpodcastINSTAGRAM: survivingparadisepodcast
